Young people aged 10-16 yrs are going through a period of accelerated growth, the growth spurt, but each at their own pace.
Measure height & weight regularly to adapt training individually: focus on coordination, mobility and core stability in periods of accelerated growth. Plan less quantity and more quality work.
Individualizing training helps prevent overuse injuries, de-motivation and early drop-out.
Measure height & weight every 4 - 6 weeks in the same circumstances & on the same devices
Identify the athletes who are in a period of accelerated physical growth
Adapt training individually
Communicate with athletes and parents on their physical & athletic development
Results are available immediately after testing. The platform translates raw test data into graphic and actionable reports, with your athletes at the heart of the equation. Take data-driven decisions and use maturity and growth as a basis for individual development pathways.
Use your smartphone to add data every 4-6 weeks
Monitor height & weight velocity and the physical development for each individual athlete
Individualize training based on growth and maturity
